Geothermal power plant developer PT Supreme Energy expects to commence the first stage of construction of its 220 megawatt (MW) Muara Laboh project in West Sumatra as early as next year while working on land-related issues in two other phases of development.

Supreme Energy president director Triharyo Indrawan Soesilo said the company expected to work on the first stage of development of 70 MW in the second quarter of next year. “The first stage is expected to finish 30 months after May, June or July of next year,” he added.
